Alonso ahead of Augsburg

"We want to finish the Bundesliga season unbeaten. It's our first final tomorrow. What happened after the Bremen match was a good moment and a great celebration. Tomorrow will be different though, we want to take the trophy on the pitch and hope that everyone stays to watch."

Thorup ahead of Leverkusen

"Bayer are unbeaten in 50 matches - we are the only team who can stop them. I am convinced we can take points in Leverkusen, even if it won't be easy. For us the match is a great chance to pit ourselves against one of the best teams in Europe. We'll be able to see at the end of the season where we are as a team."
